The Kind of Comfort for Which Suffering
Mankind Is Hardly Longing.
Don't enter a sick room with your
face long as eternity. and, with voice
mournful as a screech owls, remark:
This is world of trouble; we all
have somethin' to bear; if 'tisn't one
thing it's another" just so; and the
"another" is to try to look happy
when listening to such cheerful OBJ
servations regarding the vanity of
human affairs.
Don't start from sway down East
and travel steadily to the Pacific coast,
barring little pleasure excursion to
the Gulf of Mexico, to give an account
Of your cousins, your uncles' and your
aunts' diseases. How these esteemed
relatives suffered, pinned and finally
died. The original sin of the listening
invalid is likely to be so awakened as
to wish you had died too in the long,

VIII Ignore Section -Four.

CHICAGO, Ill, July l0.-Receiyer Nc
Nulta OF the Wabash Eastern Railway has
decided to ignore section 4 Of the inter-
state commerce law in so far as it applies
to traffic over his lines from Peoria or
Chicago to the east, for to compete for
through traffic from Peoria to the east,
his road being CiTCuitOus route is COM
PEELED to make the same rate or less than
is made by other competing lines. Peoria
rates as now established, General Nc
Nulta says, is low enough, and be
takes the same position as regards
the rate from Jacksonville. lie therefore
decided to take through business from
Peoria at 10 per cent. of Chicago rate
and at the same time continue to charge
120 per cent. from Jacksonville, and cor
respOndiIgly from intermediate stations,
thus making for the long haul from Peoria
10 per cent. less than for the shorter one
from Jacksonville. He takes the same
position as regards east-bOund trahi-
from ChiCago. To take business east from
Chicago over his line q cirCuitOus route
via Bement, IL, has 10 be taken He
Claims that he cannot afford to reduce
intermediate rates this side of Bement
lie therefore will compete for egSt-bOund
Though traffic from Chicago at regular
traffic rate but will charge higher rates
from local intermediate stations in &C
COrdanCe with agreed per centage basis,
thus making the rate from Bement for
instance, 20 per cent. higher than the
rate from Chicago General Nc
Nulta claims that according to his con-
structiOn of the law he can do this, al
though il may look like g clear violation
thereof He does not believe that the
law contemplated the ruination of
the weaker lines, which strict enforce
ment of it would surely bring about. The
Wabash, he says, is so situated that
It would either have to 90 out of the
through traffic from Peoria or Chicago
east or make enormously low rates from
intermediate stations, which it cannot
afford to do. He, therefore, proposes to
c0nstrue the law to meet the cxigeGCies
Of mis- road and take his chances to be
brought before the commission or courts

BERLIN, July IO.-If the temper Of the
German press were 8 faithful rejection
of the disposition of the Government g
war with France would be question Of
Jew days. The revelations at the Klein
trial, which is openly designed to affect
Germans and be prOhibitive impoSt on
German spirits have the combined effect Of
inCensing the people to the utmost. The
latter measures by themselves have
been held of less account, but
associated with the spy trials, they
have heightened the general sense that
French enmity is implscable, and that it
seeks to wound the Germans where it
can, waiting 9 chance to intict the dead
Hest injury. The trial of Klein is the
fifth treason trial in which clear proof
was afforded that the French wsr minis
try has organized a system of espionage.
4 worse case than any revealed is under
inquiry. An employee of the
central administration at StTasburg
is about to be tried at LeipsiC. He is
charged with selling the French war
office all Of the reports sent to the chief
administrator of Alssce by his various
subordinstes. The completeness of this
system Of espionage suggests that treason
is still ct work and that any moment may
bring further revelations. Official circu-
lation equals that of the pubic,
and both the officials and the gen.
eral public would approve the
strongest diplomatic Temonstrances being
made to the French government. As to
the dangers of the situation as reflected
by the press, the Kruese Zeitung ex-
plicitly declares that any further show of
toward France is impos-
sible. That country whose whole policy
towards its neighbors springs from sel-
ings of wrongness and hstreh fas no
right to expect further tolerattoE. q 4
